Orange Shirt Day
Today our school came together to recognize Orange Shirt Day with a full school assembly. We reflected on the importance of ensuring every student feels safe, valued, and that they belong at school. Classes engaged in conversations about kindness, respect, and the right for all children to learn in a supportive environment. Together, we also learned about Phyllis’ story, reminding us why “Every Child Matters” and why it is so important to carry these lessons forward in our daily actions.
Looking back on learning......
Phonics:
- This week was our first week (one more next week) reviewing digraph sounds.
- We learned that a digraph is when two sounds go together to make one new sound.
-Sh, ch, th, and ck.
Fall Equinox:
- Students learned that equinox means equal.
-When there is equal daylight/night time.
-We talked about signs of fall we see outside and things we enjoy about fall.
-Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn response.
Science:

-Students continued to look closely at natural materials around our school.
-We talked about a "talking stick" used by Indigenous people when in a sharing circle.
-We had our first sharing circle out on the land.
-Students learned how a sharing circle is a place where they can speak their thoughts and opinions in a safe place.
-Student learning all about Sunflowers (the fall flower) and how they bloom during the fall and not the summer as most other flowers do.
-We learned about their life cycle and represented each stage using a medicine wheel.
- We finished our learning with sunflower art, focusing on the use of line and chalk pastels.
Math:
